Athletics vs Seattle Mariners Prediction
Bryce Miller was sharp last season, and the Mariners are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home. Until proven otherwise, oddsmakers are going to view the Athletics as, well, the Athletics. However, the A’s have been the better team through two games, and the Mariners are a tough sell until they get their offense going. It’s been a lot of swings and misses for the Mariners through two games. Osvaldo Bido looked good last season in his own right, as well. The Mariners will get their act together sooner than later, but the value is with the Athletics and the plus money on Saturday.
